14/05/2025 - Development Aid under Scrutiny: Zambia through the Lens of William Easterly’s Critique
Join us for an event organized by the African Studies Centre! Zambia is located in the southern part of the African continent and is one of the countries extremely rich in mineral resources, yet today it remains one of the poorest countries in the world. For this reason, it is among the priority countries for Czech foreign development cooperation. Every year, several million Czech crowns are directed to Zambia in the form of development aid, just from the Czech budget. Similarly, Zambia receives development aid from many other countries. But does this development aid truly help Zambia, or does it actually do more harm than good?
Come and listen to a lecture by Igor Suvorov, a graduate of African Studies at the University of Hradec Králové, who spent an extended period working on the Czech development project Kashito School in Zambia, where he collaborated with the local community to build a multifunctional house for future teachers in the Kashito area.
WHEN: 14. 5 2025 from 16:00
WHERE: MUP Prague-Jarov building, Učňovská 100/1, room 102
